The Workforce Diversity Network of the Black Hills

The Workforce Diversity Network of the Black Hills (WDNBH) is a team of business and human resource individuals who came together a little more than two years ago to serve as a link between employers and individuals with disabilities who have the desire and qualifications to work. Members of WDNBH recognize that a healthy workforce is diversified and inclusive of persons with disabilities.
